The Aladowan is the headquarters of the Valadian Government. The building is located in the center of Vyviau, a few blocks away from the Palace of Eternal Glory. The building is named after a prominent Valadian genia who died during the fighting that overthrew the old Valadian Republic and led to the creation of the Empire. The name of the building has become shorthand among Valadians to refer to the government in general.

The Palace of Eternal Glory, in Vyviau, has been the home of the Jirathlas emperors for over 300 years. It is the latest of a series of palaces that have stood on the same site, overlooking Egelgundur Bay, since the founding of the Eternal Empire in 980. The Palace is considered a new building, compared to much of the capital, which dates to antiquity.
